We relate the following, that others
may profit by the quick thought we'll ex-
ecuted: Two teams heavily loaded with
logs from DOwner's lumber woods were
recently coming down the Brush hill,
and on reaching the brow of the hill. the
back team, driven by Lucius Faunce,
failed TO chain the runner by reason of
the horses starting. Mr.. Steadtnan, in
charge of the forward team, seeing Mr..
Faunce's team coming at a dangerous
rate of speed, jumped from his own load,
sliced his horse-blankets, and running
back, threw them in position under
Faunces sled and the load almost in
stantly stopped, and Il severe accident
averted.
